I found out someting interesting. mapperLocations property in my xml configuration file points to non-existing path: ``` <bean id="sqlSessionFactory" class="org.mybatis.spring.SqlSessionFactoryBean"> <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/> <property name="typeAliasesPackage" value="com.ucware.ucpo.statemachine.model"/> <!-- Register the short names of beans as aliases --> <property name="configLocation" value="classpath:mybatis-config.xml"/> <property name="mapperLocations" value="classpath*:/com/state/persistence/mapper/*.xml" /> </bean> ``` Still org.mybatis.spring.SqlSessionFactoryBean reports no exception. this.mapperLocations is empty and execution continues. In my case the correct link to the mapper is: classpath_:/com/missing_entry/state/persistence/mapper/_.xml Should not the exception be thrown ? I use mybatis-spring.1.2.0.
